“The
Forwards win the match. The Backs determine the scoreline”. Sometimes what is
true in Rugby, is true in life. In 117 appearances for the Springboks, prop
forward Tendai Mtawarira (“The Beast”) scored just two tries. That wasn’t his
job. The Corona Virus has brought to the front of our consciousness the
importance of Endurance and Resilience. The importance of a strong Base. Being
able to hold still. With strength. It has highlighted the importance of being
able to take the hits. Being able to push forward a few centimetres at a time.
Human Beings aren’t simply productive assets in a chain of pass-the-parcel hand-to-mouth
living. The foundation is simple. The foundation is being. Being able. Health,
Housing, Education, and Food win the match. Meritocracy, Property Rights,
Incentives, Passion, Trade, Free Movement, Supply and Demand determine the
scoreline.
First, Secure the Base
